The Exalead, a french search engine (The Quaero will based on it, as rumors says), has got a new beta version of it's interface (use password "beta" to enter).
New interface has been simplified in comparison to previous version. But some nice features were removed also, for exaple, operators “soundlike:” and “spellslike:” does not work anymore.
Search base have a bit more 4 bln. pages.
“soundlike:” and “spellslike:” does not work anymore ? False! I found it on advanced search.
Yes, you're right. Those operators can be found on advanced search page (it require to hit "more" link to see). I missed this, because on my pretty old Mozilla "advanced search" link is placved in query input field (bug report already sent).
